Using a primary checklist as the base can be helpful, but teams then need to customize it to fit their exact workflow. Creating your own checklist also means you can use it in your work and refine it based on how it fares.

Checklists are provided to serve as a guide to people who need to take note or do a lot of things that may be too much for our memory. It reminds us on things that we need to do as well as the things that we have already accomplished in the past. We bring checklists when we go on vacations to remind us on the things that we need to bring. We also bring them when we go shopping to prevent us from forgetting the things that we need to purchase.
